This city is defined by its stubborn survival. Every time a war or disaster swept through, the people reinvented their home, preserving and blending Native, Spanish, French, and Southern traditions into an incredibly rich cultural rhythm that you can still feel today.
As we explore, please watch out for downtown traffic and make sure to stay hydrated.

Are you ready? Let us walk toward our first stop, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, where a biracial Civil War veteran defied the odds to build a lasting legacy. Let us hit the pavement!
